It's not noticeable or anything but I still pluck that sucker.

I'm pausing on page three so I can write, then I'll read more.

I have this weird habit of showing up where the news is, or where it's going to be. A few examples:

1) I walked to a neighborhood convenience store when I was young. Inside, I heard a scream. It turned out to be the scream of a teenager who had just hit a young girl (who had just left the store I was in) with her car. I came out and saw everything: her mother arrived and collapsed in hysterics, then the ambulance...awful. She died a few hours later.

There were big memorial events for the girl who died, for years afterward. Some of my friends knew her.

2) My dad bought me a plane ticket to Paris, it turned out to be the inaugural flight from my city to Paris, and, as a complete surprise, there was a party planned at the airport. I got to meet the mayor and be on TV and got this huge box of expensive free samples.

3) I flew to London to begin college study and three days later Princess Diana died. I hadn't seen the news or talked to anyone that morning, but I went out and saw people crying everywhere and carrying flowers. I was like, "Wow. London is a miserable place."

4) When my husband and I set out on our honeymoon, a woman, her daughter, and her daughter's friend had just been abducted from a hotel and it was national news, on the cover of People.

We were driving in the mountains of California and were surprised to encounter traffic and police vehicles everywhere. When we got to a police officer we asked what it was all about. He said, "They just found the third body here."

Not necessarily a weird fact, but a fact nonetheless!
